The one that teh Jeezus rode:

Steg was cool, but not the best...no room to ride. (unless you could fit between the bony plates on his back)

Of course...is it possible that dinosaurs never really existed?

Bullsh!t you can't ride on a Steg - M'fer had a built in saddle for prehistoric cave-knights.

T-Rex. Because he's the king.

Yes!

And also because I used to play and read and eat at Castle Rock which is owned by the family's grandfather who gave the name tyrannosaurus rex.

The Castle is located in Albany NY. near route 9.

Can't hate on the folks voting for triceratops. Triceratops is basically a little version of a Steg, except that its a bit confused and the spikey bits are on the wrong end. Can't blame it for wanting to be "like" the true king of the dinosaurs.

I'm going to go ahead an assume you were ignorant in your inclusion of Pterodactyl, and really meant Quetzalcoatlus. Pterodactyls are minute pieces of dung hardly worth being included in the same order as the largest known flying animals.

How come? o_O

new fossil evidence shows that Spinosaurus was heavily adapted for aquatic life (shortened hind legs suggesting it was quadrupedal knuckle-walker on land, webbed feet, etc), and was far more of a crocodile-like creature and would have been relatively awkward while on land.

JP3 Spino was mostly just guesswork based on sketches of a very incomplete collection of fossils that were destroyed back in WW2, so ultimately the fight felt rigged to me, it felt like they were just desperately trying to create a dinosaur to challenge T.Rex just for the sake of challenging T.Rex

They could have gone with Giganotosaurus, but I understand why they didn't as it would ultimately be too similar in build to T.Rex, even though the two had very different specializations.

Interesting stuff. Apparently t-rex might be able to beat Giganotosaurus as well due to its larger brain.

Triceratops !!!!!!!!!

I'll vote Ankylosaurus a close second.

I always liked those things myself.

There are a lot of good ones :)

Stegs were great too, probably nastier than a Tri, but I like em.

The better question would be which one tasted like Bacon ?

That would be a lot of bacon ....
